George Takei has announced that he & his longtime partnet Brad Altman will marry this summer in California. This announcement, like that from talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, comes on the heels of the California Supreme Court ruling that same-sex marriage is now legal.

George Takei has written in his blog, “He is my love & I can’t imagine life without him. Now, we can have the dignity, as well as all the responsibilities, of marriage”.
